Early Hollywood's edgiest auteur, Browning drew on his experiences as a circus performer to create subversive pulp entertainments set amid the world of traveling sideshows, which, with their air of the exotic and the disreputable, provided a pungent backdrop for his sordid tales of outcasts, cons, villains, and vagabonds. Bringing together two of his defining works (The Unknown and Freaks) and a long-unavailable rarity (The Mystic), this cabinet of pre-Code curiosities reveals a master of the morbid whose ability to unsettle is matched only by his daring compassion for society's most downtrodden.Not rated.English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (SDH)Blu-ray, region A, full screen, LPCM mono; requires Blu-ray player.Title from disc surface and container.

Good thing they have Florence's art historian father in the wings for consultation. Through their intriguing investigations they delve into the history of great artists and follow in the footsteps of renowned masters. The cases lead them through the spectacular cultural landscape of Paris. The unlikely duo learns that the key to understanding the crimes lies in the works of art themselves. They also learn they can no longer do without eachother... to solve the investigations. But to consider that they're made for each other seems unthinkable-most of the time. Love and art interwine deliciously in the first five seasons.Rating: Not rated.DVD; Region 1, NTSC; Wide screen (16:9).
